Steppe nomads

Steppe nomads

The whole family lives inside a 40-square-meter round ger with no walls to separate them. Here they sleep, cook, eat, study and bathe. For Westerners, who greatly value their privacy and personal space, it would be hard to imagine living like that, but it seems only natural for those who grew up that way.

 

A very special way to discover the lifestyle and traditions of the mongols is to visit real nomadic families. Accompanied by a translator, for a short while you will become a nomadic family member.
